Alize tale...

...I met, during a NATO exercise, a French navy premier-maitre (warrant officer equivalent) whose prime job was accompanying sprog pilots as they went through their carrier landing quals. First on shore and then on the carrier. He was 36 years old and completely grey haired but had no other signs of stress.
Who was it said that night carrier landings were the ONLY situation where one could experience stark terror, a bowel movement and an orgasm inside a couple of minutes?
